Rover RB-45P Resonator Plectrum Banjo

The top-selling Rover banjo line is proud to introduce their finest model yet--the Rover 45 series! Of great interest to the Traditional Jazz fraternity is our model RB-45P Plectrum 4-string banjo. Tuned similarly to the classic 5-string, but without the short 5th string, the plectrum tuning offers deep, rich bass tones and close harmony chords at your fingertips. The novel aluminum rim with built-in tone-ring is a strong, lightweight assembly that is unaffected by changes in temperature and humidity--it gives you a clean, crisp tone with plenty of volume. The slim, professional neck and correct, vintage-styled resonator are identical to those on the costliest professional models, and the fiddle-shaped headstock is right out of the 1920's--the banjo's Golden Era. Smooth, accurate geared tuning machines and a deluxe tailpiece and armrest--all in gleaming nickel-plate--complete this remarkable, affordable banjo--the Rover RB-45P!

Gold Tone BG-250 Banjo

The BG-250 was one of the first instruments ever introduced to the Gold Tone line and it’s the remarkable features that we keep this great player around. Its convertible resonator feature allows for an easy conversion between a bluegrass (resonator) banjo and a genuine old time (openback) banjo by simply removing the 13” resonator and mounting brackets. Like many old time banjos, this model features an openback pot assembly design utilizing 24 shoe lugs instead of a one-piece flange. This cuts down on the weight by about 3lbs while still being able to deliver a powerful and punchy tone. This convertible feature is great for players wanting to play in both popular styles. Other features include a bound rosewood fingerboard, a 12” bound mahogany resonator, the new GT Master planetary tuners, flat-top 20-hole bell brass tone ring, and a complete setup at the Gold Tone Factory in Florida.

Recording King RK-R35 Madison Resonator Banjo

The Madison RK-R35 gives banjo players the option of a high-quality, great-sounding banjo with a classic Mastertone-style tone ring and flange.
